• When searching for the best binoculars for the
  money, one thing that you will realize is that
  there are different prices for the styles that
  look the same. This is why it is important for
  you to understand the specifications of the
  binocular-like the diameter of the objective
  lens, magnification and the exit pupil as this
  will also help you to narrow down to the pair
  that is best suited for your needs.

Size of binocular

• Binoculars are usually available in a wide range
  of sizes and are mostly defined by the size of
  the objective lens for your different outdoor
  pursuits. Some of the common specifications
  include
• Full size The common specification for this size
  of 8 by 42 and 10 by 50.
• Mid-size Available in the common specification
  of 7 by 35 and 10 by 32.
• Compact The common specifications are 8 by 25
  and 10 by 25. These are usually the smallest and
  lightest type and are more suitable for
  backpacking. However, they are usually less
  comfortable when used for a long period of time.

4
Magnification power

• When a binocular has a magnification power of 7,
  this simply means that things will appear 7 times
  bigger than they would be when viewed with the
  naked eye. It is important to remember that
  binoculars whose magnification is more than 120
  will tend to amplify the hand and this can make
  it difficult to get steady viewing.

Diameter of objective lens

• Objective lens diameter is usually measured in
  millimeters. Binoculars of 7 by 35 will have
  objective lenses that measure 35 mm. This
  specification is what determines the amount of
  light that the binocular is able to gather. In
  case you have two binoculars that have the same
  specs apart from the diameter of the objective
  lens, the one with the larger diameter will be in
  a position to capture more amount of light. With
  more light, it means a view that is brighter
  especially in conditions with low light.

6
Exit Pupil of the Binocular

• This is the number that indicates the brightness
  of the object when it is viewed in situations
  with low light. When this number is higher, it
  means that the images will be brighter. An exit
  pupil that is larger means that it will be easier
  to maintain the objects full image in case your
  hand happens to shake or move. The exit pupil is
  usually measured in millimeters. To calculate
  this, you will need to divide the objective
  lenses diameter with the magnification number.

7
Relative Brightness

• This is related to the exit pupil and measures
  the brightness of an object to the eye. When this
  number is higher, objects will appear brighter as
  compared to when it is lower. This can prove to
  be helpful in situations with low light.
